We accept online payments for e-merchants via two independent options.

1. Online payments are via the following two independent options

a) Credit Cards: We accept the following Credit Cards. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB and Citibank E-Cards. These could be issued in India or anywhere else in the world, it really does not matter. If a Bookandhost sub merchant has signed up under our economy scheme he gets Rs 93/- in hand for every Rs 100/- worth of his transaction, done on a Credit Card by his customer. If a Bookandhost sub merchant has signed up under our premium scheme he gets Rs 95/- in hand for every Rs 100/-, worth of his transaction done on a Credit Card by his customer. Nothing more is payable by the sub merchant in both instances.

b) Through a direct debit of an online bank account in India. We currently support HDFC Bank, Citibank,ICICI infinity, UTI iConnect, IDBI and Centurion Bank customers. Which means that a customer may use his bank account for paying any Bookandhost sub merchant. When a Bookandhost merchant receives payment through this route he gets Rs 96/- for every Rs 100/- worth of transaction done by his customer, irrespective of the type of scheme he has subscribed to i.e. economy or premium. Nothing more is payable by the sub merchant.

2. PayMate's Mobile Payment Facility

With PayMate's Mobile Payment Facility, you can accept payments for goods and services from customers through your mobile on transactions worth less than Rs. 5000. On every Rs 100/- worth of transaction through this facility, a Bookandhost merchant receives Rs. 96/-, irrespective of the type of scheme he has subscribed to i.e. economy or premium

Please Note: This facility is currently limited to Citibank account holders.

To get your payments you need to "capture" your transaction from the accounting module. When a transaction is successful from the payment gateway this is reflected in your account with Bookandhost in pending mode. You as the merchant will have to login to your account on www.Bookandhost.com and mark the transaction as shipped / executed and enter relevant data.

PAYMENT CYCLE:

You have 12 days from the receipt of the orders to execute and capture the order amounts. If your business model demands that you capture the amount in advance for future delivery, i.e. a period beyond 12 days from receipt of the order, and your customer is explicitly agreeable to this, then you may do so before the 12th day. Orders not captured will not be reflected in your account after this.

Orders can be accessed by logging into your Bookandhost Account with the username and password registered on sign-up.

All orders shipped/executed until Thursday midnight IST are processed for payment the following day.
